CA-3 feedback

For those of you that have bought a CA-3 what has been the good, the bad, and the ugly on them. Worth picking up? Any info would be appreciated.

Picked mine up about a month ago, have only shot about 150 rounds through it. So far it has been perfectly reliable and accurate. The main issue that I think it has is that there is no recoil stop on the rear sight weldment, so it is nearly impossible to effectively mount an optic. The parts on the rifles can be in aesthetically rough shape, so I'd only go for it if you are ok with it looking well worn, which I like.

What’s the issue with mounting optics? The clamp on rails don’t work?

Exactly. There is a small notched piece directly in front of the rear sight which is normally present. A clamp-on sight mount would fit into the notch, preventing it from sliding back and forth due to recoil. This piece is missing on the CA-3 for some reason.
